What is VIPP?
VIPP is an organization of good friends uniting together to have fun and make a difference in the community for those who are blind or visually impaired!
Visually Impaired Persons for Progress (VIPP) is a local chapter of the Michigan Council of the Blind and Visually Impaired (MCBVI) which is an affiliate of the American Council of the Blind (ACB)
Your annual dues includes membership in all three organizations!
You will receive The Braille Forum from ACB and the MCBVI Newsletter in your choice of formats!
You can participate in annual state or national conventions!
VIPP meets on the second Tuesday of September, November, January, March, and May unless otherwise announced. Other special events and activities are planned including an annual trip to a Whitecaps game, a Christmas Party and much more!
Regular meetings start at 6:30 with dinner (optional) at 5:30! We meet at the Grand Villa Restaurant 3594 Chicago Drive in Grandville unless otherwise announced!
VIPP participates in advocacy efforts such as helping to bring Michigan’s first MoPix system to Grand Rapids giving the blind and deaf full access to first run movies right in the theatre! VIPP also supports initiatives that benefit blind and low vision youth, and other special projects.
